In this three part BBC documentary series, Lucy Worsley examines the life and work of The Queen of Crime, Agatha Christie.
It's a well balanced series, with enough focus on her personal life and works. The first two episodes spend most of its time looking at her marriage, family and disappearance, the third really does explore many of her greatest works.
Lucy gives lots of personal opinions, and does see things I'd say from her own point of view, but I appreciate that she's a fan of Christie, and you can see that she loves her work. I like Lucy's presentation, she's amiable, and there are some interesting interviews.
I'm sure it's not going to be for everyone, but as a lover of Christie, I found it a respectful, interesting look into her life, I can't say I learned anything new, bit it showed me how much her work was influenced by her private life.
8/10.
